Won't launch on Niri #83

Describe the bug
Jellyfin player doesn't start on my system when using Niri WM. The app starts properly on KDE Plasma, but I don't really use it at this point. I don't know why the player tries to launch using X11. If there is some user error involved, please let me know.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch jellyfin-desktop in Niri
  2. The program won't start
